Trail Running In Penang: Penang Hill-10 May 09

My second ride on Penang Hill-Downhill Trail. Start from 168(Penang Hill Peak) and ending at No 3(Youth Park).

Go all the way up to Penang Hill by tram. RM3 + RM1 for the ticket. RM3 is for the one way ticket up and RM1 is for our bike to be carry by the tram carriage.

Riders: Hock, Kheng Hong, Jesse, Hotel Ghee and me.

It started to rain when the tram about to reach Penang Hill. While waiting for the rain to stop, we had coffee at the Penang Hill coffee stall. Waited for around half an hour for the rain to stop before we start riding down.

It was quite slippery. Ghee crash not too far from the starting point and hanging on the cliff. Luckily nothing serious happen. For me, of course never crash la(on the place where Ghee crash). Me pro ma... Actually I never ride down there, I push my bike down. Smart leh... Haha... After Ghee crashed, it was my turn to crash. Sigh... Tried to avoid some roots. But the avoiding attempt failed. Nothing serious happen, no scratches at all course able to jump off the bike on time. Lucky me.

After that, the ride(or maybe hiking down carrying a bike) was quite smooth all the way until No 3. Crashed twice there. Only me crashed. WTF... But luckily there was no hiker around the place where I crashed. At least can safe some face... Haha... The first crashed was when I try to make a drop. The second crashed was caused by roots(AGAIN) and it was in the chicken run. Ride in chicken run also crashed. Pai seh lo...

While on the way down, we saw a tortoise with a thorny shell. Saw a snake near 84(mid point of Penang Hill) too.
